Extreme inside shoulder wear on the front tires has gone undetected until actual tire failure. Alignment has been checked 3 times by different specialists and I have been told that the Ford mondeo (Contour) and fiesta are well known for this defect. I feel that this has very serious potential and need to get my concerns across to the Ford Motor Company. I am currently living in europe and obviously this is a european car. The french Ford dealers are not enthusiastic especially as my french is not brilliant. Please help provide a contact either at Ford us or possibly Ford gb or some european community Agency. Many thanks.( dot number: )
